Introduction. The issue of stress
The concept of work and its place in a person's life and daily habits have been influenced by social thought on work, which has undergone radical transformation from the past to today.
For centuries, work was considered an ignoble activity to be assigned mainly to slaves and prisoners, while only coordination and supervision activities were exercised by representatives of higher social classes. In some cultures, such as the Spanish one, the etymology of the word trabajo
originated from the Latin term tripalium
, which designated a torture instrument for unproductive slaves.
In the 1700s, work began to become an increasingly widespread activity among representatives of all social classes, and a gradual change in social imagination began, representing work as a dignified activity aimed at achieving a goal, which can be the realization of a good or the creation of a service.
The subsequent transformations observed in recent centuries have seen work become not only a necessary activity for living, as it allows for economic independence, but also a means of social affirmation, assigning a status and having the value of a ritual that marks the true passage to adulthood.
Following these changes, the weight of work identity on personal identity has increased in recent years and this has led to dedicating more and more space to work, which, pushed to excess, has generated negative repercussions on psychosocial life and physical health. The social malaise that arises from excessive time devoted to work has been described in recent years in terms of burnout
, work-related stress syndrome
, but above all, work addiction
.
Work-Dependence: Reasons for Sacrificing Happiness
Today's historic changes in thinking about work have made work, especially in the Western world, an important tool for social integration and appreciation and for achieving economic independence. This has led to more and more talk of dependency on work
recently, which was once a male privilege, but today, perhaps because work has always played an important role in the social struggle for recognition of women's rights, this dependence has also begun to expand to this gender.
Workaholic,
also defined in the United States as this addiction, referring to the English term alcohol addiction,
is a modern phenomenon, but can be described by mythical images, as people often do with other tendencies in spiritual life. Workaholic
is defined as workaholic
in the United States, referring to the English term alcohol addiction
. To borrow an ancient Greek legend, in this case we can define work dependence as Sisyphus' disease,
a term derived from the story of King Sisyphus of Corinth, who paid great greed for wealth and was condemned by Jupiter for a mistake in bringing a huge Stone back forever to the top of the mountain, from which the boulder fell from time to time. Sisyphus Disease
is the story of King Sisyphus of Corinth, who paid great greed for wealth. Sisyphus' story is the story of King Sisyphus of Corinth.
Like other so-called new addictions
, such as work addiction, it represents an elevation to a wide range of daily activities. Rather, it is a drug-free
addiction associated with legitimate, common activities that are now highly valued at the social level.
A very unique feature of work dependence is that it arises from secondary rewards, that is, indirect happiness arising from long-term and repetitive work actions. This factor makes it possible to understand why one can rely on an activity that rarely produces any major or direct rewards. In fact, work does not represent an object of immediate satisfaction, but an activity that requires efforts to obtain financial satisfaction or any other satisfaction. This allows consideration of two aspects. First of all, not all employees are masochists, because this kind of self-punishment tendency seems to be quite rare. The second implication of the main characteristic of work dependence is that this form of dependence is possible in those who have developed what is called a secondary process
, the ability to give up present happiness for future rewards, which on the one hand leads to a certain psychological maturity
in the management needs and goals of work dependents, which is often lacking or lacking in other types of dependence.
However, a direct and immediate pleasure often exists, which is a factor in consolidating the attitude of devotion to work; It usually manifests itself as enthusiasm
for the activity itself, a department or a discipline, just as some professionals devote all their free time to activities related to their major, such as reading and updating.
But above all, it is an indirect pleasure that can transform an unsatisfactory activity into a stable habit that can have an impact on the lives of those who maintain it and those around them.
In this regard, a study of the psychodynamic profiles of working employees
